The majority of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in today's nuclear power plants (NPPs) are based on analog technology. Thus, most existing I&C systems now face obsolescence problems. Existing NPPs have difficulty in repairing and replacing devices and boards during maintenance because manufacturers no longer produce the analog devices and boards used in the implemented I&C systems. Therefore, existing NPPs are replacing the obsolete analog I&C systems with advanced digital systems. New NPPs are also adopting digital I&C systems because the economic efficiencies and usability of the systems are higher than the analog I&C systems. Digital I&C systems are based on two technologies: a microprocessor based system in which software programs manage the required functions and a programmable logic device (PLD) based system in which programmable logic devices, such as field programmable gate arrays, manage the required functions. PLD based systems provide higher levels of performance compared with microprocessor based systems because PLD systems can process the data in parallel while microprocessor based systems process the data sequentially. In this research, a bistable trip logic in a reactor protection system (RPS) was developed using very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language (VHDL), which is a hardware description language used in electronic design to describe the behavior of the digital system. Functional verifications were also performed in order to verify that the bistable trip logic was designed correctly and satisfied the required specifications. For the functional verification, a random testing technique was adopted to generate test inputs for the bistable trip logic.

The purpose of this paper in that users can use mobile device applications more easily and efficiently through MoDAM (Mobile Device Application Management) system. MoDAM automates the process of web retrieval for obtaining mobile device applications and the process of installing or updating it on mobile devices and then supply users with these automated services in a step form by combining two separated processes. We implement a web agent conforming to OSD (Open Software Description) specification for automating software retrieval and downloading and also a mobile device based software management module conforming to SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language) specification for synchronizing common data between server and client. The method of automated software retrieval and management for mobile devices using these standard specifications minimizes users' interrupts and also can be applied to traditional several different mobile devices, operating systems or downloading web sites without platform dependent considerations.

Optimized algorithms and numerical expressions which had been verified through C program simulation, should be analyzed again with HDL (hardware description language) such as Verilog, so that the verified ones could be modified to be applied directly to hardware implementation. The reason is that the characteristics of C programming language design is intrinsically different from the hardware design structure. The hardware IP verified doubly in view of hardware structure together with algorithmic verification, was implemented on the Altera Excalibur FPGA device equipped with ARM9 microprocessor core, to a real chip prototype, using Altera embedded system development tool kit. The implemented finite field calculation IPs can be used as library modules as Elliptic Curve Cryptography finite field operations which has more than 193 bit key length.

An example of such a new device is a mobile phone. The demand for wireless data communication is growing rapidly. However, agencies have not yet completed the standardization of the markup language. Due to the evolution of the Mobile Device, the agencies in this field have provided different data formats with each Mobile Device Platform. Traditionally, contents are hand-tailored to suit the target devices. A key problem is that the characteristics and capabilities of mobile devices are too diverse to service the most suitable mobile contents. Owing to this problem, the need for a reusable document description language increases. In this paper, we defined Template file that is common data to service mobile devices. We proposed method that could be effective wireless web service though design and the implementation of the Call Manager & the XSL Generator. In the methodology, when requesting wireless internet service, the mobile device finds out Markup language and hardware specification of the mobile device through the Call Manager component supports. The XSL Generator component creates XSL file dynamically that is the most suitable to device. Finally, contents is serviced to each device by XSLT.

Mobile device will be able to use the various contents from the advancement of the wireless Internet and mobile device manufacture technique. Each devices is HTTP headers about under using provides device information to contents provider in the provide the contents. However, There is no standard for device information provided, so interoperability problems, because external contents using mobile phone companies to provide the device information in a different way. International Organization for Standard OMA UAProf about under using it solved interoperability problems from outside. However, in using the UAProf can not provide for the complete device information, because MMS support information, smart card support, information and support for external storage is not specified. Thus, In this paper, we designed UAProf in base which provides the contents which has become optimize to the mobile device of domestic environment the mobile device description language which expresses device information which is necessar, and it used to design and implementation of the Contents Adaptation System.

For the convenient use of high performance microprocessor in motor control, peripheral devices are needed for converting its control signals to compatible ones for motor drive. Customized devices are not plentiful far these purposes and their functions do not usually satisfied designers specification. The designers used to implement these functions on FPGA or CPLD using hardware description language. Then, in this case unessential programs are needed for control the peripherals. In this paper, a unified device model that links peripheral devices, including especially the pulse width modulation controller and the quadrature encoder interface device, to an interrupt controller is proposed. Advanced functions of peripherals could be achieved by this model and unessential programs can be simplified. Block diagrams and flowcharts are presented to illustrate the advanced functions. This unified device was designed using VHDL. The simulation results were presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Acme와 같은 ADL(Architecture Description Language) 들은 컴포넌트 기반 시스템의 아키텍쳐를 정형적으로 명세할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 날로 다각화되는 개발 과정 상의 이해관계들을 다 포용하지 못하고, 아키텍쳐에 특화된 별도의 표기 형식을 익혀야 하는 부담이 있어 아키텍쳐를 명세하는 언어로서 정착되지 못하고 있다. 반면 UML(Unified Modeling Language)은 범용 모델링 언어이여 소프트웨어 개발의 전 과정에 일관된 표기형식과 폭넓은 지원도구들을 제공하고 있어 소프트웨어 개발을 위한 사실상의 표준 언어로 자리잡고 있다. 이에 따라 지금까지 UML을 이용하여 아키텍쳐를 모델링하기 위한 연구들이 많이 진행되어 왔다. 특히 UML에서 표현수단이 미흡한 아키텍쳐의 핵심 개념들을 명시적으로 표현할 수 있도록 UML의 확장 메커니즘을 사용하여 UML을 특화하는 연구 결과들이 많이 소개되고 있으나 특화된 영역의 아키텍쳐를 기술하기에는 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 활발히 개발되고 있는 모바일 애플리케이션의 특징중의 하나인 device의 제약사항을 QoS로 정의하고 UML 확장메커니즘을 이용하여 모바일을 위한 아키텍쳐 모델링 언어 프레임웍을 제시하고 있다.
